Join CATS for a bike ride to a Moving Planet event hosted by Climate Action Now. Learn about climate change, alternative energy, and citizen involvement groups you can join through speakers, exhibits, and information stations. Bike ride meet-ups start at 11:30am, and we’ll head to the Moving Planet event at Rose Quarter Commons from 12-3:00pm. After, join us for a Happy Hour at White Eagle at 3:30pm with the Environmental Justice Advocates.
MOVING PLANET is a day to pledge to move beyond fossil fuels and encourage a national and international effort to do the same. CATS and the Environmental Justice Advocates will be riding bikes to the event and meeting up with folks riding public transportation to the event, then heading to a happy hour at the nearby White Eagle Saloon on bikes, buses and trains.
